It is very easy.
1. First of all you need to get CD image of the OS. It is not very hard. You can visit some bay and ask pirates there. ![]() 2. Prepare your virtual machine. Run VirtualBox, click "new" -> Choose operating system "Microsoft Windows" and version "Windows ME" ![]() Then choose "Create new hard disc" ![]() And select 512 mb of ram. ![]() 3. Installing Windows Now your virtual machine is created and you can click "start". VirtualBox will ask you about media source. Select WinME image as virtual drive. ![]() Installing Windows 9x is simple enough. You did it ten years ago. Remember your childhood ![]() 4. Video drivers After installation you'll get completely working system with awful video settings (640x480x16colors). It is impossible to get drivers for modern video cards from their manufacturer. But there is solution. And it is called "scitech-display-doctor". Download it from here. Open your VirtualBox again and choose "CD/DVD devices" submenu in "Devices" menu. There you should click on "Choose a vrtual CD/DVD drive". ![]() And open "scitech-display-doctor-7.iso" file there. Install the program. In Display Doctor you should enable "SciTech Display Driver" and choose desired screen resolution and color depth (1024x768x32bit). ![]() 5. Let's play! Run DLR. ![]() It works! Try to run ROH. ![]() Hey! It works too! |

What disk space do you need to set ?

Recommended size is 4GB.
I think that 10 GB would be optimal. |

Thanks it works, but it is somehow lagging, the OS and thus the game is not as fluid as it should be.
Does it come from the VM or from my computer ? |

Give it more RAM (not more than 1024) and video memory then.
